From the Gaelic, Gleann Aileachaidh, meaning Valley of the Rocks, this independent, Scottish owned and managed whisky company focuses on the important things: making great whisky and enjoying life.

After taking ownership of GlenAllachie Distillery, Master Distiller Billy Walker embarked on an in-depth cask evaluation programme across the 50,000 casks on-site.

The results of his expert endeavours can be seen in the multi-award winning core range and single cask releases, where Billy has had the opportunity to showcase exceptional casks and highlight Glenallachie's approach to wood management. This is the eighth batch of single casks specially selected for the UK, each demonstrating the unique interaction of the wood, spirit, and subsequent flavour extension. Originating from Jerez, a city in the Spanish province of Cádiz, Oloroso is a darker, drier style of Sherry which directly translates to “scented” in English. A fitting namesake, maturation in this particular Oloroso puncheon (2010, #804024) has imbued our spirit with rich aromas of oak and freshly roasted chestnuts, whilst the palate offers indulgent dark chocolate and layers of smooth caramel. Boasting an intense mahogany hue, this signature honeyed spirit has been elevated to exude sheer Sherried opulence.

Colour: Rich Mahogany

Nose: Waves of heather honey, fruit & nut chocolate, ginger and baking spices, with notes of espresso and vanilla.

Palate: Bursting with nutmeg, hazelnuts and butterscotch, followed by apple peel, chocolate shavings and dark roast coffee.
